Can anyone recommend mobiles that have WiFi on them?
I am due for an upgrade in August and it's one feature I would really
enjoy having!
Palm OS would be nice but I am guessing nothing like that will be
available.

The new Nokia E-series (E60, E61 and E70:
<http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,76869,00.html>) all have wifi onboard
as well as 3G. Since you seem to be a Palm user, there is a big 3-part
review of the E61 by a Treo 650 fan here:

(look for the E61 Part One / Two / Three posts, they should be at the top).

A few of Nokia's consumer range smartphone (the N-series) also have wifi
(the N91 is one of them).

On the Windows Mobile front, there's the i-mate K-JAM, JASJAR and SP5
(<http://www.expansys.com/d_pocketpc.asp> and
<http://www.expansys.com/other.asp?cat=WINPHONE>) all also available under
different names from O2, Orange...

Nokia N80 is currently available and perhaps the SE P990 will finally
be out by August. Both Symbian OS.

Do your research though - some support different wi-fi speeds and only
use it for certain features. Sure, they'll all web browse, but
wouldn't it be funky for RSS feeds, IM, and VoIP etc..?
